Moving Past Pilots and Hype:
Making AI Work in Retail Operations
Every month, we host 4 Director and VP-level retail practitioners for a candid 45-minute conversation on what's actually working in AI deployment.
About the Event
Real talk from practitioners, not vendors
DX Brief: Retail isn't your typical webinar. There are no pre-scripted keynotes, no sponsor plugs, and no product demos. Just honest conversations between practitioners who are in the trenches every day.
We curate a panel of 4 Director and VP-level professionals from leading retailers who are actively deploying AI across their operations. The conversation is moderated, focused, and designed to surface actionable insights you can bring back to your team.
Whether you're evaluating your first AI use case or struggling to scale what's already working, this is the room where you'll hear what's really happening behind the press releases.
